New telly coming


Thought for a laugh I’d show people why I’ve gone for the new telly …

This is a picture of the current one.

The red lines show the borders of where it stops showing anything. It’s squeezed the normal widescreen image into about a third of the screen.

Ho hum – perfect excuse to buy another telly 🙂 This time, I’m hoping that I’ll be able to have a working TV output from the desktop as well as the laptop, because the new one has S-Video connectors, which the current one doesn’t have.

Oh yeah, as well as the assorted rubbish, you’ll also see Dino the nodding dinosaur, Norbert the telly cleaner, one or two more presents, plus my (rather small) Pocket Dragon collection.

Footnote – the picture captured shows some of the best news to come out of Iraq for probably the past 2 years. Norman Kember and 2 of his fellow hostages were freed today in a bloodless assault. Good to see they got those guys out alive and that the evil people don’t always win. Thoughts are with the family of the one who didn’t make it out.
